If Dems and other officials do not hold the perperators of past admin crimes accountable *and* tackle the structural issues that made the US vulnerable to mafia state rule, all the Biden admin will be is a brief interlude between aspiring autocracy and entrenched autocracy.

Gauging interest: RT this if you'd be interested in an unreasonably nice and expensive version of the championship book we're putting together.

This administration has pardoned hundreds of violent rioters who tried to overturn a democratic election and has disappeared a non-violent student protestor for voicing his political views. nytimes.com/2025/03/09/nyr…

Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech. Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime.

This is even worse than I imagined from the summary. They snatched him off the street and detained him overnight even though he was carrying his ID and social security card proving his US citizenship on him the whole time.

Per Ken Klippenstein's leaked State Dept doc ordering agents to monitor all student visa holders' social media posts, evidence that someone has criticized the US government on social media can lead to a finding that they are a terrorist. Totally unprecedented.

I’m the first citizen they’ve named—but I won’t be the last. If you think this begins and ends with naturalized citizens, you’re not paying attention. Political repression happens in stages. They’re testing the limits now. What comes next depends on how we respond.

The Trump admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids aged 2, 4, 7. Both families were detained & then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family. One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.

CBP under Trump: "I encountered a young woman, in tears, begging the guard for information. He told her he had no information to give her and that none would be forthcoming. 'That woman,' he said, pointing to a bundle of blankets in the corner, 'has been here for four days.'"

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt

here’s the thing with all the Biden/Harris counterfactuals: if they indeed would have done things differently now would be a great time to say so! They have a platform, they criticize Trump often and they—and Hillary and Obama—haven’t said a word criticizing Trump on Gaza or Iran

People don't yet realize the terrifying implications of tripling ICE's enforcement budget, making it the largest law enforcement agency in the country, and building tens of billions of dollars of new "Alcatrazes." If you think things are bad now, it's about to get way scarier.
